New Year News: Coop members can help protect Adirondack Park

Posted by on

Have you heard of the Adirondack park? Spent time there to appreciate it's majestic beauty? It's a six-million-acre National treasure.
The Adirondack Park includes New York's Forest Preserve in Upstate New York. Unlike most preserves, about 52 per cent of the land is privately-owned. The Nature Conservancy bought a piece of this land (called Boreas Ponds) from a timber company, and now NY STATE is going to buy the land for the public – you and me! Right now the park's coalition is working with the governor on the protection details for this piece of land. (Bottom line – motors or no motors.)
Governor Cuomo has an historic opportunity to create a world-renowned, spectacular motor-free area covering more than 280,000-contiguous acres in the heart of the Adirondack Park. The Governor needs to hear from thousands of people like you who want to protect our Adirondack legacy and support Wilderness. CLICK HERE AND Please sign the petition today!

Plastic is the material that seems to be taking over, step-by-step, all industries. Due to its many advantages, plastic often provides better alternatives to other packaging materials, and it is used for seemingly endless applications. There are several different types of plastic, providing sturdy and reliable products, with a high impact resistance. It is also very practical and versatile, lightweight and very cost-effective. It can be recycled, but the level of recyclability depends on the type of plastic.
